Koal felt the presence in his mind still, the entity remaining quiet, only speaking every so often. Even then, his words were cryptic and confusing to the young Demon. But Koal felt that his body moved much different now... smoother, and with more confidence. Koal felt a smirk pull at the corners of his lips as he felt another surge of power rush through him. He could feel their sins. The blood that proved their guilt called to him, sang to him.
You now feel as a Prince should. You feed off their sins, and they are plentiful. It is your right of birth.
Koal felt satisfaction at those words, approval emanating from Seraph. Koal recognized the being as an elder demon, but not of his nature or what his intentions were. He felt the footsteps of Dawn behind him, a nagging suspicion ever-present in his mind that she would try to kill him. But without her glove... Maybe.
He stopped, turning to the half-naked Assassin. He dug the glove out of his back pocket, his eyes locking with hers as he held the accessory out.
"As a gesture of good faith, I guess. Don't make me regret it." Koal mumbled the last part, pivoting on a heel as he began to walk back towards the central chamber. They were close now, another hundred feet or so, and they'd be at the entrance. Koal was slightly hesitant to admit he feared what lay inside. He could smell faint traces of gunpowder, with a sort of sickly-sweet scent in the air... a poison of some sort. He shook his head as a slight haze descended on his vision. Scarecrows toxin, fogging his brain. It was trace amounts, but enough to still leave a minuscule impression. Koal found a new respect for the Doctor as he experienced the feeling for the first time. It was a very potent weapon.
The cave itself was a mess, of what Koals eyes could pick out through the blanket of darkness. The fire still burned, the embers casting a red glow on the cave. The young Demon saw several bullet casings littering the ground, and score marks from a sort of weapon. No one was visible yet, and Koals ears couldn't pick anything out of the darkness. They had to be here somewhere. Unless they had exited the cave system through other tunnels. There were several side passages.
"You have any clue where your allies went?" Koal inquired, peering at Dawn, who was looking around with a raised eyebrow.
Follow the destruction. See where it leads.
Koal felt his eyes being guided towards a steep drop off near one side of the cave, leading into a dark pit. Koal turned and tapped Dawns shoulder, jerking his chin to the opening.
"I'll follow you."
